0742 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 0742 👆 is reported as a frequent source of scam and nuisance calls, often involving automated messages or silent lines. Callers commonly impersonate official bodies like HMRC, Citizens Advice, Amazon, BT, Microsoft, or banks such as HSBC, attempting to trick recipients into pressing buttons or divulging personal details. Many report calls at unusual hours, repeated attempts despite ignoring or blocking, and a lack of genuine contact numbers. Users advise caution, especially as these calls may include threats of legal action or requests to authorise payments. The consensus warns against engaging with such calls, emphasising the importance of not responding to suspicious messages or following any prompts, and to block these numbers to prevent harassment.
Reports on phone number 0742
1 yearI saw some strange stuff popping up on my bank account, especially with Amazon charges and transfers from abroad, but I just decided to brush it off.Amazon1 yearThey said they were from Citizens Advice, but I’m not so sure about that.1 yearGot a call from 07426516322, some kind of robotic voice pretending to be from HMRC, saying they wanted to interview me. Obviously, I’ve blocked the number straight away.HMRC1 yearAs soon as I answered, the call suddenly dropped and then someone else took over the line.1 yearJust got two weird charges popping up from Amazon and stuff, they were pushing me to press 1 to sort it out. Felt sketchy as anything.Amazon1 yearJust got a call from 0742, they claimed to be from customs and revenue and said I owed money. They told me to press 1 or I’d be taken to court. Total scam, I hung up straight away!!!HM RevenueCustoms1 yearGot a call from a 07429 number, turned out to be another tech scam. Everyone be careful out there!1 yearGot a call from a number with the old Sheffield dialling code again, looks like these scammers are back. I've blocked the whole code since it shouldn’t be active anymore. Appreciate everyone’s tips on dealing with this. The number showing up was 07421182351759.Sheffield2 yearsGot calls from them two days straight, and everyone knows it's one of those tech scams 😒 total nuisance! Best to just ignore it!!2 yearsThis number, 07421070396, said they were from Microsoft to me. Thought it was a scam, just a heads up!Microsoft2 yearsThis number keeps ringing me up all the time. The first call, the bloke said my Amazon had been compromised and offered to sort it out. Total rubbish, if you ask me. I just ignore it these days but they keep phoning me over and over every week. Makes me think they know I'm an older person.Amazon2 yearsIt was a bit odd to get a call at 9 on a Saturday morning - seemed kinda dodgy to me.3 yearsJust picked up and no one spoke, call then ended abruptly.3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Amazon, telling me an iPhone had been bought using my account. Obviously a scam!Amazon3 yearsGot a call from 07421149541 saying he was from BT, wanted me to press a bunch of buttons on my PC - no way was I doing that! Told him his line was rubbish and asked if I could ring him back. Funny thing is, even though he said he was with BT, he didn’t have a number I could call. Judging by his accent, I reckon BT must have an office somewhere in Kolkata or something.BTKolkata3 yearsJust got a robo call telling me my visa account is asking for £900 and to press 1 to approve it!!!3 yearsJust saw a missed call from this number. Wondering who it was.4 yearsTotal rip off, avoid at all cost!5 yearsGot a text from HSBC saying there was an attempt to use a new device to make a payment. Problem is, I don’t have an HSBC account, so I knew straight away it was a scam.HSBC5 yearsCalled 12 1647573 but got no answer whatsoever. Pretty clear this is a scam, likely some auto dialer ringing loads of folks all at once. I guess someone else must have answered first, whoever you are, cheers for that!5 yearsthis number called me like 5 times in just 20 mins and never left any voicemail, seems pretty suspicious if you ask me!6 yearsGot a text saying there was some weird activity on my HSBC account and to click a link for help - looked a bit dodgy, so I popped down to my local HSBC branch and showed them the message. Turns out it was definitely a scam, pretty rubbish too cos the number was directly tied to the sender. The number that contacted me was 07432170042.HSBC6 yearsEvery time I answered the call from 07423339488, there was just silence on the other end before they hung up straight away. Proper annoying!8 yearsthis number called me twice today, once in the morning and then again around 8:20 at night. i picked up and said hello but no one said a thing. really frustrating! there was no caller ID showing up, so i used 1471 to check and it confirmed the number was 07425340894. who on earth is it?11 yearsThere’s no caller ID available.Submit Your Own Report (0742)
